All of the female family members are named and speak to each other, but I can't remember a specific discussion that isn't about Nicholas, Rasputin or Alexei. The sisters talk among themselves about their lessons and such, I think, and I'm sure Alexandra and Marie shared a scene discussing the state of the country, but that may have included mention of Nicholas.
This needs to be checked.

I think this passes. About 2 hours in to the movie, when the Romanov children have measles, the following conversation appears:

Alexandra: "Lie down, darling."
[sound of gunshots]
One of the Romanov daughters (I can't tell them apart but they're all named): "I heard it again."
Alexandra: "It's nothing. You must keep warm."
